Blake Griffin, who's upped his productivity with Chris Paul sidelined by a knee injury, will lead the Clippers in the opener of their eight-game 'Grammy trip.'

Update: Blake Griffin has become the man for the Clippers with Chris Paul out with a bruised right kneecap. Griffin averaged 23.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 2.2 steals in five games last week. He is the first player since LeBron James, from April 3-9, 2005, to average 23-plus points, nine-plus rebounds, six-plus assists and two-plus steals when playing five games in a single week. This game opens the team's eight-game "Grammy trip."
